I gotta disagree with you guys in K&B. Sure y'all have a right to be pissed, but you're not putting things into perspective. Be pissed that you're in A8 and not BBB15 or 16. That's the real problem. Perfect builds aside, you guys are competing against players that are 10-15 levels higher .... more in some cases. That translates into 50-75 build or more. Add to that the fact that your players were created basically in season 5. I have players created in season 1. That's roughly 160 more days of training, so you can figure another 40-50 skill points from that alone. Sure, you know how to build better due to experience, but any jackass can create a player that will beat yours if you spot them 100+ build/skill points.
Also, look at who you lost to. Claiming you lost due to levels alone is a little bit of a slap to Red River. It *MIGHT* be possible that they out game planned you. They're a good team - hell, the whipped my ass. Plus your other loss was to Burleson, who played in the championship last season. So we're not talking about cupcakes.
If you look at the league level guidelines, K&B has a strong arguement that they should be in one of the BBB's. I have no doubt that out of 512 BBB teams, K&B would be in the top 5. But out of 256 A league teams, you'll struggle to make the top 100. THAT's the real problem, the promotion system screwed you. You didn't even get a reach around, just a straight up plowing.

Classy as usual.
Do the rest of us a favor and keep the whining about how you guys got screwed over in your own thread. The rest of us don't need to hear that all season. Deal with it.

What Purples is missing is, a lot of the level 40+ players in USA A8 ARE slow built TOO. Or at least partly slow built using some cap building.
Houghton isn't a season 1 team, we had some lessons learned already by season 3 and at least used caps in our building style. While we may not be a fully slow built team (taking multiple skills to 68 before putting points in anything else, we did use slow building and cap building principles at least to some extent.
Purples isn't facing old season 1 idiot builds, and they just gonna have to get used to the fact that their competition is other teams built with many of the same lessons learned that they are.
Sorry but i'm afraid you're late on the bus to ask for a free ride based on slow building, even if we didn't have VAs.
Purples, you guys just need to hold to your guns and treat this like one more season of build up. Next season, you have a championship shot, don't lose it just cause you were hoping to have that shot in BBB this season. Hang in there and next season most of the good ones from A8 will have moved up and you'll be a whole season further along. That's your championship shot, it's next season.
Makes sense, except that there are teams in this league with an average player level equal to our USA PRO team. If they had great builds to begin with, they would have moved up with the rest of the great builds long ago. They're moving up now, though. What changed? Bort's magic fail eraser allowed agents to instantly correct build flaws given they were high enough level.
To the Vice City guys, I guess you're still stupid today. I asked that question in response to In Flames nonsense quoting and bolding of my post. New Orleans does have those levels on us, and they still got blown out by teams they should have been competitive with given the talent on their roster, so what, exactly, were you arguing?
No one was arguing anything, someone asked a simple question as to who you were referring too and you respond with an insult, which is what I responded too. Not that hard to figure out, you have some nerve to call other people stupid.
